Create a bar graph where the next bar starts where the previous ends

I have a data set where I have alternatingly positive and negative values for each year. I need to plot them on a bar chart but the 2nd bar must start where the first bar ends. I cannot make it work with changing basevalue and can't find anyother option.

For example,
y = [4 2 3;
1 6 5]';
n=size(y,1);
dy=([1,-1].*y).';
yc=[0, repelem(cumsum(dy(:).'),2)];
ymin=min(yc(:));
lims=sort(reshape(yc(1:end-1),2,[]))-ymin;
ys=[lims(1,:); diff(lims)]';
h=bar(ys,'stacked','FaceColor','flat','ShowBase',0);
h(1).Visible='off';
h(2).CData(1:2:end,:)=repmat( [0 0 1] ,n,1);
yticklabels( str2double(yticklabels) +ymin + "")

I think you'll have to use the patch() function to create rectangular patches "floating" off the axis.
